Sitting here in Adelaide on my own after work watching Stevie singing Landslide. Is it breaking the religion ban to say her music brings me closer to the higher powers than anything or anyone else? She is the greatest. Where's that box of tissues... Cheers

I'll live with that. Just saw her singing Rhiannon. I can go to sleep happy now. Cheers

You should see American Horror Story Season 4 (I think): Coven. Stevie Nicks is featured and honored.

She has a distinctive quality about her voice. Rhiannon....... the first country song I learned to like was by a female vocalist.....Jolene by Dolly Parton. Her voice in that song just grabs my attention! Only song I find special by her but it grabs me. Some songs and singers do that.

I like her "Dreams"

I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan forever. Back in 1979-80 I designed and built two homes in Santa Monica Canyon, one for Stevie and one next door for her manager. An interesting experience to say the least, but certainly not religious.

I love music from the Fleetwood Mac era. Rhiannon, Dreams, You make Lovin' fun, Tusk, Don't Stop, and on and on.
It's amazing how some songs like that are almost seductive! Another artist and single song "Black Velvet" by Alannah Myles, from the movie "Standing in the shadows of Motown" , "What's Become OF The Broken Hearted" by Joan Osborne......
Literally these songs have a seductive quality to them. The vocals are just incredible.
Though I am deaf, every day I celebrate my cochlear implant and being able to hear human voices again....and music though it's at a reduced quality.

Stevie has certainly stood the test of time, that said, Allison Krauss's voice with her effortless delivery works for me every time I hear any of her songs.

Yes, it just goes to show that it's not a good idea to know one's god or goddess too intimately as the polish tends to wear off. That said, there is a quality to her music and poetry that gets to me every time. There are many artists that have 1 or 2 songs that can do this to me but Stevie gets through every time.Originally Posted by Bill McNiel
I have been a Fleetwood Mac fan forever but never had the opportunity to see them live. The DVD I watched was The Dream from 1997. Now I have to pay for staying up too late to watch it all. Cheers

Ken, Black Velvet is a great song. My wife is awaiting ear surgery. Music drives her nuts these days because all she can hear is the drums as all the rest is out of her range. Cheers

WHAT?! Back the truck up, Bill. That's amazing. What was interesting? Did she have good taste?

I saw Stevie Nicks doing a song with Talor Swift on tv, man Stevie made Talor look bad, but I do love Stevie Nicks.

I always loved Fleetwood Mac. I saw them live on my 29th birthday in 1979 when they were on their Tusk tour. Great music.

Fleetwood Mac is fantastic, and Stevie Nicks has certainly achieved icon status.
You should pick up a copy of the Nicks/Buckingham.Buckingham/Nicks album. If you don't already have it.
It was never released in the US, only in Australia.
